ArmInfo. The issue of opening of Upper Lars checkpoint will be
discussed during the visit of Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili
to Armenia in the next few days, Head of CIS Department of Armenia's
Foreign Ministry Aram Grigoryan said at the international conference
"Armenia on the Intersection of Communications" in Tsakhkadzor.
'The parties are holding negotiations regarding possibility of assuring
cargo carriage from Russia to Armenia and back through Upper Lars
checkpoint. The negotiations are currently underway, though principal
agreement of the parties is already available, and it is scheduled
to set this issue to the president of Georgia', A. Grigoryan said.
Upper Lars is the only checkpoint on the border between Russia and
Georgia, however, the checkpoint does not actually function because
of absence of diplomatic relations between Russia and Georgia. The
movement through Kazbeki-Upper Lars checkpoint was closed by the
decision of Russia in July, 2006.
